Village Owners Assocation

What Village Owners Assocation's governing documents say

The Village Owners Association Inc. (Colleyville, TX) is a property owners' association. This document is a recorded policy governing how owners may inspect and obtain copies of the association's books and records, as required by Texas law. It is not the full set of governing documents (CC&Rs, bylaws, rules).

• Records request procedure: An owner (or designated agent) must submit a written request by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the association's mailing address. The request must describe the records with sufficient detail. The association must respond within 10 business days; if more time is needed, it must notify the owner and provide a date within 15 business days of the original response.
• Fees for records: The association may require advance payment of estimated costs. Copy fees: $0.10 per page (standard), $0.50 per page (oversize). Electronic media: $1.00 per CD, $3.00 per DVD. Labor: $15.00 per hour (no charge for 50 or fewer pages). Overhead: 20% of labor (waived for 50 or fewer pages). Miscellaneous actual costs (labels, postage, etc.) may be charged. A final invoice is sent within 30 days after delivery.
• What records are not accessible: Without a court order or the owner's written approval, the association will not allow inspection or copying of records that identify an individual owner's violation history, personal financial information (including payment/nonpayment records), contact information (other than address), or employee personnel files.
• Enforcement and remedies: An owner denied access may petition the justice of the peace. The JP may order release of records, award court costs and attorney fees to the owner, or allow deduction from future assessments. If the association prevails, it is entitled to court costs and attorney fees. Before suing, the owner must send a written notice of intent at least 10 business days in advance via certified or signature-confirmed mail.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document only addresses records inspection and production. It does not include the community's full rules, such as architectural guidelines, pet restrictions, parking rules, leasing restrictions, or assessment amounts. For those, refer to the actual Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and other governing documents.
